I could probably make a list of the stuff he does. Things I have noticed are: everything goes in his kennel; he keeps track of every toy; bone; etc. He pulled the bell off the doorknob; he brings it to us when its time. The water bowl HAS to be on the left;(he will move it with his nose). When outside: Ducks belong in the pond! He will bring you the toy he wants you to throw. I could go on and on.

And he puts it back in the kennel! His pet peeve is still the water bowl on the left; its funny when he sees its wrong. As I have said: Something new every day!

Why did mention "Boat"? I pulled ours out back in June (I think). Got it all washed up; cleaned the seats;etc; cranked up the OB; found a overheating problem;repaired that; then backed it back into the barn. Hasn't moved since. With the Dr. BS and the weather; this Summer has been a waste!

Found Gordon 2 Frisbees. (One Blue; the other one white). He will bring the White one back; Blue one; No! Forget it!
His thing last night was He found another dog in the mirror He didn't like! I wish I could take credit for some of the stuff He does;but I can't. He brought it with him.

On wed ive been invited to a New owner clinic at my local ford dealership.Food ,beverages,and prizes!They say the purpose of these events is to educate new owners on what new with maintenance that needs to be done for your warranty as well as the different services offered like detailing,body repair,accessories and apparel.They have little workshops in each dept .Should be interesting and I got away cheap at 20 grand,lol.The more I drive the 2013 edge awd 3.5 6 speed the more I like it.Tows my 160 ss with ease and has plenty of power,quite smooth ride and fairly decent mileage With only 26,000 miles on the od I should be driving it for many years yet.

My daughter works for a company that does pump out service. Its funny to hear her talk about some of the people she deals with. The good thing is her boss gave her "Full Rein"; backs her with decisions. It is amazing what they charge!

Click image for larger version  Name:	20180924_165542-2268x3024.jpg Views:	1 Size:	1.01 MB ID:	10659308 fun stuff, brake lines on the '06 3/4 ton diesel. Brakes blew backing a steel trailer for a 34'er into a deep, steep ramp. Luckily it didnt go swimming. Last thing I want to do during winterizing season is brake lines on a rusty tow vehicle...feel my pain!

This one has the diesel. Pulls anything I hook up to it...stopping is another issue although the 6 speed allison transmission sure helps.

It's a drag that one can no longer purchase a standard transmission light truck. The tap shift allison is the next best/least worse solution I have found. The motors loose oil pressure before the transmission dies if you keep up on coolant and fluid changes. I change the fluid and coolant every 25k. But I work these tricks hard. They never go a day without pulling loads or pushing snow. I have two with the 6 liter gas and this one diesel....

20180926_162003-2268x3024.jpg well, it's back on its feet...approved by Jake the shop dog. Ended up having to put new rear brakes on it as well. Calipers, rotors, and pads. I left the e brakes in...I might regret that. Worst design ever.

Some body spent some money!! I remember changing the rear calibers on our '03 Ford S/C. Bent a C clamp trying to compress the calibers. Ended up disconnecting the brake lines.

Doctors appt. today. On the way home; the Admiral spied a car. "That's a good looking car"!
"Go back and look at it". WRONG!
Two hours later; she is a proud owner of a '02 Ford Mustang. Clean car;3.8; 85K; Drives and rides like a dream.

We need another vehicle like I need another hole in my head!
